I have been ordering from Temu for years. To me, the quality of the merchandise is no longer high quality merchandise. II have had to return so many items that I think I will no longer be a loyal customer.
So let's begin 1st of not all of the items are bad and you can get a bargain at times HOWEVER they lie to you the customer service is a 1/10 absolute shambles of a company 🙄 you buy items and get told well done you can pick 5 yes 5 free items so you go great so you pick your items to be told you must spend let's say £10 so you think ok so you spend the £10 thinking your getting those wonderful 5 items only to be told they give you the cheapest item you chose and now you only need to spend another £40 to get your next free item its a total scam 😉 my advice would be stay clear
Scam alert temu is totally scam from last 3 months I'm suffering with temu I had placed 3 orders and pay for them and then I receive fake products totally disappointing poor quality products I told them and ask for return and then they refund I believed and but return my all three parcels the refuse to refund and told me I don't return them and their products are in fine condition so don't refund and close their so called ticket then I start posting about their scam and zero customers service they contact me and told they'll resolve my issue then again they told they have picked my parcels and received them i have their chat screenshot where they have confirmed it i ask for my refund they again refuse and told I didn't return they're totally scammers take customers money and then didn't reply them closed their so called tickets and on social media they pretend they're help customers but total scam I'm still posting about them until I don't receive my refund I know why they don't want to refund because my refund amount is higher so beware of their scam they didn't send what they post till now after seeing the evidence of return including their on chat screenshot they refuse to refund I lost my money I'm requesting to all of you don't buy from them and don't believe there replies on these reviews because they didn't help me only pretend on social media that they're helping there customers but they're are just scam

I am writing a complain as I am very disappointed by the temu Formal Complaint Regarding Misleading Promotion and Unexpected ChargesI am writing to formally complain about my recent experience with Temu and what I believe was a highly misleading promotional offer that resulted in multiple charges to my international credit card.I was offered a promotion to “draw your lucky card” and was told that I had won 9 free gifts. I selected the gifts according to the options provided by Temu. After that, I was instructed to start playing with customers and complete different activities in order to pack and receive the gifts.During the process, I was repeatedly asked to obtain energy, select items, complete additional steps, invite friends/energy, and answer a quiz. Each time I completed the requested activity, the progress continued until it reached approximately 99%.At that point, the nature of the promotion changed completely.Instead of receiving the gifts that had been presented as free, I was suddenly required to select items that involved charges. I selected items according to my budget, believing that this was part of the promotion. However, Temu then deducted money item by item. I was not given a clear opportunity to simply select a free gift or a short/low-cost option. Instead, I was presented with charged options.I was using an international credit card, and the amount was deducted three separate times. Because these were international transactions, I am also expecting additional foreign transaction charges, taxes, and international service fees from my bank.I immediately contacted customer service to explain the situation and request a proper resolution. Unfortunately, my experience with customer service was extremely disappointing.
I spoke with Estrella, Jaiseme, Ibrahim, and Jasmine during this process. Instead of providing a clear and timely solution, I was repeatedly asked to wait and was transferred through different representatives.In particular, Jasmine kept me waiting for approximately two hours and later said that he was trying to escalate the matter to higher management. If the matter required escalation from the beginning, I do not understand why I was made to wait for such a long period without a meaningful update.Estrella identified herself as being at a high level of customer service, but I found her communication highly unprofessional and her handling of the complaint unsatisfactory. I spent approximately four hours dealing with customer service without receiving an appropriate resolution.Ibrahim also failed to provide a meaningful solution and instead mentioned trying to compensate me with 60 QAR, which does not adequately address the financial loss or the additional charges that I may incur. Eventually
I was offered refund for 3 trans which I made there was no solution however I am waiting for my bank finally statement I used international credit card. I am waiting for finally bill with taxes and service charges I there are bunch of scammers they should think before providing and promoting and the ceo of temu is he rally good with scam. Shame on these peopl

I joined TEMU's "Invite Friends & Get 3 Free Gifts" promotion, worth S$70.33. I referred multiple people and support confirmed in writing that all of my referrals were successful. But the reward per referral — represented as $1 — dropped without warning to $0.50, then $0.20, then $0.08, then $0.01, leaving me stuck at S$70.12 of S$70.33 with no way to close the last 21 cents, no matter how many people I referred.
I spent close to three hours across three separate chat sessions with different agents, all repeating scripted, contradictory answers. None could tell me how many more referrals were needed, even though the system tracks the figure to the cent. One agent admitted outright that "inviting friends may result in a larger amount cut" in the early stages — confirming the reward shrinks by design, something never disclosed when I joined. Another admitted "it can easily look and feel like a scam from the outside." A third told me plainly that support staff have no ability to manually fix it or "force a win."
The only compensation offered was a 20%-off coupon capped at S$20 — which just means spending more money on the platform, not making up for the reward I was promised.
More than half the people I referred told me independently that they thought this was a scam. I don't take that lightly, since I was the one who vouched for the platform to them.
I've filed a formal complaint with CASE (Consumer Association of Singapore) with the full chat transcript as evidence. If you're considering one of these referral "free gift" campaigns, know the rules can shift mid-event without disclosure, and customer service has no power to correct it even when they agree something's wrong.

I tried to purchase an item on Temu that was clearly advertised as “Est. $1.84 after applying promos.” Based on that displayed price, I added the item to my cart.
Once it was in my cart, however, the price suddenly became $4.02 after applying promos for the exact same item and quantity.
I have screenshots showing both prices. The product page says $1.84 after promos, while the cart says $4.02 after promos. That's more than 2x the price I was shown when deciding to buy the product.
I contacted Temu customer support expecting them to either honor the displayed promotional price or provide a reasonable explanation for the discrepancy. Unfortunately, support did not resolve the issue.
I understand that promotions can have conditions, but customers should be able to rely on the price displayed on a product page—especially when it specifically says “after applying promos.” If additional conditions prevent that price from being honored, they should be clearly disclosed before the customer adds the product to their cart.
This experience seriously damaged my trust in Temu's advertised pricing.
1 star. I have screenshots documenting the price difference.

This is my last review, as I WILL be deleting my account with them, after I solve my problem with "Smart Life Factory" if they decide to use Temu, as a mediator. They caused my charge card to be blocked TWICE, in just TWO WEEKS.
They have one of the most deceitful trick of them all: in both times, I pushed the botton to check what I have in my basket and, all of the sudden, "thank you for your order". Even my bank doubted the sales and didn't do for my other orders.
FROM NOW ON, I ADVISE YOU TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU DECIDE TO BUY SOMETHING.

It has to be the worse quality around, and their promotions are just the biggest scam ever.
I got a refund of $40coupon to spend in store. The only way to use it, was to spend $40 first.
So had to buy $80 worth of crap to get my $40 off.
So it wasn’t a refund.

I made two orders on Temu. One was missing parts, the other was not working. They want to give you a partial credit only, the items are low quality, a terrible service, not worth at all. A scam. Will not buy again ever or recommend.

Looked for shop info through google to buy a certain product. ‘Temu’ was the first un-sponsored on the list with the product. Clicked on it and instantly was hit with a scam-like ‘cup game’ (guess the right cup and win ts) that promised 100% off the product I was looking for and because I’m not an absolute fool I googled if it was a scam and was told it was not but might aswell be. Predatory BS. Will never use this website because of this awful marketing technique. Grow up

I ordered a couple of things I didn’t really want because the website said if I ordered that I would get other items free of charge. You don’t get the other items. It’s a rip off. Luckily, I didn’t spend much.
